42 salaries · our own dataMost design roles in crypto pay between $150k and $232k, with a median of $188k.
PancakeSwap is hiring a Senior Designer to own how the platform looks, feels and converts across product, brand and marketing, backed by data. You will join one of the largest DEXs by volume, live on 10+ chains with BNB Chain as its home. In June 2025, PancakeSwap processed $325B in a single month, with 7.4M unique users in Q2 2025 and $1.8T+ lifetime volume. At this scale, small UX changes move real money: a 1-point lift in swap completion or one fewer failed transaction per thousand is worth more than most new features.
What you'll do
- Own UX/UI for core flows: swap, add/remove liquidity, Infinity pools and hooks, farms, staking and new trading products on website and App
- Map and instrument key funnels with Data and Engineering: wallet connect to quote to approve to swap success; LP deposit to position management
- Diagnose drop-off and failed transactions using on-chain and front-end data, then design and ship fixes
- Run A/B tests and usability tests; every major redesign ships with a hypothesis, a metric and a readout
- Design for two very different users: retail traders on mobile and professional LPs who need dense information
- Own the PancakeSwap brand: identity, illustration, motion, tone and the bunny/kitchen character world
- Build and maintain one design system (Figma plus code components with Engineering) used by product and marketing
- Keep brand consistent across 10+ chains, partner co-branding and multiple languages including English and Chinese
- Be the design partner for content, community, KOL, partnership and product marketing teams
- Set up a request intake, templates and turnaround SLAs so routine assets do not need custom design each time
- Produce launch assets, social and Binance Square creative, event and conference visuals and data visuals for reports
- Track which creative performs by engagement, click-through and conversion per linked post, and feed results back into templates
- Hire and manage designers and freelancers; set quality bar and review rituals
- Use AI design tools to raise output per designer and document what works
- Report design impact to the CEO monthly with numbers
What you bring
- 5+ years in product design, including 2+ years leading design (people or a full design function)
- Shipped work on a high-traffic consumer product where you can show the metric your design moved
- Comfort with data: you can define a funnel, read a dashboard and design an A/B test with Data and Engineering
- Strong visual and brand craft, not only UX: identity, illustration direction, motion and marketing creative
- Hands-on proficiency in Figma; you have built or maintained a design system used by engineers
- Hands-on DeFi user: you have swapped, provided liquidity and used multiple wallets and chains yourself
- Fluent English; able to work async with a distributed team across Asia time zones
Nice to have
- Experience at a DEX, wallet, exchange or other high-frequency trading product
- Understanding of AMM and concentrated-liquidity concepts such as ranges, impermanent loss and fees, and how to explain them simply
- Mandarin, or experience designing for Chinese-speaking users
- Front-end skills in HTML, CSS or React to prototype or ship small changes
- Experience using AI tools to scale design output
